Imagine a
church a block and a half from God’s vast ocean, where you are greeted by
smiling faces and warm greetings, every Sunday you arrive.
You pick up a complimentary beverage and pastry before heading to your theater seat to experience
God- with a live, kickin’ band, laser lights, shining and synchronized with the
beat of the music, and a half hour message from God’s Word-the Bible, presented
to inform & inspire. Presented on a
huge Regal Cinema screen, in an upbeat and encouraging fashion. The same screen where hundreds of movies are
shown regularly, without the life- changing message and values
found within the pages of scripture.
The hour-long
service in a downtown Oceanside theater-plex moves along quickly.
Afterwards,
there is laughter, hugs, and well wishes as the growing church’s members leave
for walks on the beach or to return to their place of lodging. Inspired and amazed that they had just 'done' church in the most enjoyable of environments, and left encouraged and ready to
take on their world, along with their God, until they gather again - the next
weekend.
Now this is
doing CHURCH! You can find God and great
people in movie theaters these days. Come check it out!
See you at
the Movies.
